Heat And Celtics Injury Reports For Game 5
On Thursday evening, the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics will face off in Massachusetts for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
For the game, both teams have announced their injury reports (updated as of 3:30 Eastern Time).
The Heat have ruled out Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent.
Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo and Cody Zeller are both listed as available.
The Celtics have ruled out Danilo Gallinari, while no one else is on their injury report.
Since Gallinari has yet to play this season, the Celtics are fully healthy for Game 5.
NBA's official injury report
The Heat have a 3-1 lead in the series (they won the first three games), but they are coming off a 116-99 loss in Game 4 on Tuesday night in Miami.
No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a Playoff series, but the Celtics have one of the best rosters in the league, so anything is possible.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are arguably the most talented duo in the Eastern Conference, and the franchise is coming off a season where they made the NBA Finals for the first time since 2010 (they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games).
If the Celtics are able to pull off another win, Game 6 will be back in Miami on Saturday.
The winner of the series will advance to the 2023 NBA Finals and face off against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (who swept the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night).
